Hello Monty,
I actually was able to locate a cygnus-compiled
perl5.005_03 binary, but am finding it impossible
to successfully build a version of the DBI module
using that partcular distribution. ( I've sent
the specific errors to the DBI users list, hopefully
someone else has been able to get beyond those
compilation errors using that Cygnus distribution.)
Once I get beyond that obstacle, it should be relatively
simple to build the msql-mysql-modules into the
resulting perl5 binary.
Thanks!
